You aren’t supposed to close one eye using any sighting system, doesn’t stop most of us from doing it.

Your not supposed to have an eye closes with magnified optics?

No. Both eyes should be open. Less eye strain and better situational awareness, though some will place a blank object in front of their eye to block it from seeing anything but letting you keep it open. Despite knowing this, I still close my left eye most of the time.
